    I think it's just fine in the database.

    The only possible server way, as I see it, is if it has been 1/10th to 1
    second second since the last notify(), display the prompt.  This would be
    hard to do in the server, and is easily solved in the Paradigm core with a
    simple .prompt_ok and a fork()

    I believe you did this by calling a verb after each task terminates or
    suspends  (I am prolly wrong).  The problem I see with this is, what if a
    suspended task produces no output?  Extra prompts would be produced, which
    could give away an invisible player (I've seen this on other muds)
